Hearthstone Expansion: Mean Streets Of Gadgetzan Reveal

If you’re a Hearthstone fan like me, then the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan expansion has been on your radar for a while and it’s something you’re hotly anticipating like that first advent calendar chocolate. It’s so close.

I like to play as the Paladin and Hunter and I am guilty of only ever straying from my beloved heroes and occasionally going for the super spell class in Mage and Priest. I don’t remember a time I played as Shaman, or Rogue, they just don’t offer me enough. However, that could change with this new expansion that consists of 132 cards across hero types, all varying in power and ability.

A new feature that Blizzard have incorporated into the expansion deck are the ‘family special’ cards. The classes tie in with the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan’s characters, where the heroes have been grouped under three factions and given their own unique twist.

Factions:

Grimy Goons – Hunter, Paladin, Warrior
The Grimy Goons sure picked a flattering name for themselves. They’re your gangsters and weapon smugglers, eager to make their coin by equipping Gadgetzan with all sorts of untested and illegal weaponry.

Kabal – Mage, Priest, WarlockNeed some mana quick? The Kabal got you covered. These crazy chemists control the illicit mana trade in Gadgetzan, and there’s never a shortage of magic-users looking for a little extra boost to their latest potent potable or kooky concoction.

The set will contain 132 collectible cards in total – 42 neutral cards, 81 class cards (9 per class), and 9 faction cards (3 per faction). You can find a breakdown of the cards with Blizzard revealing the remaining 28th November.

Favourite games include Heavy Rain, Grim Fandango and Borderlands. Gina loves a good narrative, with interesting quirky characters. She's currently playing Ori and The Blind Forest and just finished Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Firewatch. Follow Gina on the community!
